Thank you so much I'm 6 days away from hatching 5 eggs. My first try I did like 12 eggs and half way through I realized I didn't have any thing. So I started again with fresh day old eggs and I know 100% there all alive and moving with light I just did my last candle today and I really needed your video to get through these last few days. I watch alot of video but your has been exactly what I was looking for.
Glad it helped!
I’m watching your video to get an idea on how to prepare myself for these new babies !
Best of luck 🤞
I enjoyed this vid, and like your enthusiasm and obvious passion for what you're doing. It never ceases to amaze me, and I work on a 220,000 bird broiler farm, how incredibly beautiful the chicks are. So cute and soft ❤ they have no idea though, do they, of how gorgeous they are
Great video! I appreciate all the information. I just started hatching my own eggs from my girls and it's been such a fun learning process. Have another batch due the 21st of March can't wait!
That is awesome! very exciting eh.
Good video. Next time don't open the incubator. When you opened the incubator, you probably killed the other three. Never open during a hatch, especially once pipped! The humidity drop shrinks the eggs sac and traps them.
Nah dawg you have to check them😂 you clearly have no ide 😅
@hope_clipzz4890 I'm not a dawg, homey. You don't open an incubator during a hatch. The whole world except you knows that "bruh"
@@M3hammerdown he needs to check on them so he knows better then you 😅 cry ab it
Absolutely true. You never open an incubator on hatch day.
You have to open to turn them ever 4 and half hours so they don't stick and die 🤦♀️😂
Thanks for posting on how to hatch your own eggs. That was what I was looking for, first time for me.
Best of luck
Your camera showed the candling great better than I've see. This is what I needed to see
Best of luck with your hatch
That was an amazing video!!! And also you can do duck eggs you don't need to wash any it's keeps them more healthy eggs..me and my son are going to try this! Great for people starting out well done
Thanks for all the information! I have my first incubator hatch starting to pip. Very exciting!
thanks for the video learned alot. I just bought my first incubator. looking forward to using it. Video was great keep it up
Glad it helped
Wow!! Such a great experience👍🏽 thanks for share
Our pleasure!
Yes, I learned a lot from you. Thank you.
I can tell you love animals as much as I!
Quite impressive. I enjoying watching this video and I have learned a lot. Thank you.❤
This was a first. Enjoyed this video so very much. Thanks for sharing the details! ❤️🐼💜
Awesome 😎
Love this. Thanks. I may just let my broody chicken do the work.
This is a radical video man! Those incubators are pimp dude! Some badass work chad.thanks for this experiment. I really love science man.🐸🍺🤙🔥
it was really a cool experience and I love the fact that I can see whats going on with the clear dome.
Awesome video! Whatever you do don't feed them after midnight!
Very informative and I love the violin music!
Excelente vídeo parabéns, seu inglês é ótimo pra entender mesmo pra mim que não falo fluentemente. E quanto a incubação foi tudo muito esclarecedor. Ganhou mais um inscrito. Congrats.
Nice! Thanks for saying that 🙏
Finally someone with the ceramic heater. How did they do with the heater after hatching?
Chicks love it, they just huddle underneath and have no issues. It can rise up as the chicks get bigger too. No fire hazard is a plus.
Just started vid....
You got pure breeds
I'm hatching some of what I call abomination feathered dinosaur... 😂 My rooster is an Ameraucana but my hens are a little bit of everything.
So Mutts. Aka maybe Easter eggers.
Nice, best of luck with your crew.
Right on Chad, that's pretty awesome. 👍👍They are cuties
thnx for watching and following along. Glad to have met you the other day.
That soon amazing. They are so cute. I wish I could hatching eggs too. I would of to buy an incubator
Nice view on that incubator im going to keep that in mind when i eventually buy one thanks:) this was very enjoyable much love xoxox
yeah I really like the clear dome, but overall it did its job...kept the temp and humidity steady and of all my fertile eggs I only had 1 not hatch (probably cause it was a double yolk) Cheers, Chad.
@@HiddenSpringFarm good information thanks:)
My special needs adult daughter goes to Dutton Farm Rochester Michigan.They are getting chicks in a week or so!
The auto egg turner will stop turning a day or two before the eggs are scheduled to hatch, to prevent injury to the freshly hatched chicks 😊
I use a regular pencil and put the date i gather it on my egg.My incubator holds the eggs upright like in a carton.I dry hatch till day 18 then add water for humidity.
Sounds like you’ve got it down pat. 😊
@@HiddenSpringFarm I been hatching eggs in a incubator for over 7 yrs but i learned more each yr.I finally got tired of small incubators and last yr bought a cabinet incubator and a cabinet hatcher.
@@ciasarah376 oh yeah I want one of those too, can just do a lot of birds at once. Good for you 👍
😂😂 I thought the noise @ 5:08 was bottle-rockets 💥🤣🤣
Hi I assume to keep 100f in my incubator for chicken eggs, all the info very helpful, but I think I missed the temperature details, is it 100f ok?
yes 100° F
@@bethanyfleury9905 ty
It started out ok, until I was SCREAMING !! Put the lid back on that incubator!! 📢📢🤦♀️
Hatching is the most crucial time, painful to watch the last three eggs “trying “ to pip as their heat and humidity plummets 🤦♀️
I never saw this video before…. Who are the kitties?
And "Pooper" the parrot? OMG… I nearly died laughing at that….
Great video Chad!
Old man pooper died last year sadly but he’s was 17 years old, he was a Senegal parrot. The two cats must have been Stormy & Smokey but I’d have to watch it again to be sure. They were taken by predators but had a forever impact on my life turning me into a cat guy.
@@HiddenSpringFarm awwww…. I get it… I thought one of them Was Stormy… they sure were sure kitties! I. Sorry you lost them to predators…. They are the reason you created your car cave / catio… my dad had two barn cats that he lost because he didn’t realize that they had got shut in the barn when he closed it up for the weekend… they were stuck in there with no food or water for three days in the middle of August when the temps reached over 100°F… oh he was so upset…. He made two little cat doors cut out in the over hang door and one in the back wall and then Began keeping a large container with water in it to prevent something like that ever happening again….
Dry Incubation till Lockdown I found works best
You mean no water added?
that’s awesome!!! really liked this video...
Thanks Arc, appreciate you bud.
Wow!!! That was awesome to watch! Thank you.
I have found that if the eggs are sitting on a flat surface and can role when the chicken try's to rotate inside the shell it harder for the chick's to hatch so I use a song mat with holes to hold the eggs
What temperature do you store your eggs while waiting for the hens to lay enough to incubate? What location do you leave them?
I just keep them in our basement, it’s cooler & darker there. Room temperature is fine
Every well explained! Thank you!
Cheers
So how can I get one of those hatchery can I get it online please let me know am in Jamaica 🇯🇲
Hands up if you were screaming " take the shells and the chicks out and put the lid back on!".....
No. That’s how your chicks get shrink wrapped and die.
Exactly...... Lifting that lid is a death sentence. We have to let nature take its course
What did he do wrong please explain im learning here
@@Bouyati.tlb96 he did a great job! I was telling the person who commented about that lifting the lid during lock down will shrink wrap the chicks and will result in possible death. It’s very important to keep the lid closed until all chicks have hatched or until day 24. Chicks can live 2-3 days without food or water because of the yolk sac they absorb.
@@JessieBurwell oh I didn’t know chicks can live 2 to 3 days without food thanks so much for the information
I really like your content
Hi, why is humidity is so important in incubator?
Sorry I am new to it, I just fale to hatch my Quails eggs i got from grocery store lol, now i find this life poultry place 😢 and porches 12 red eggs from them, now lets see :)
I'm from Bronx 😂
P.S. please confirm the temperature for incubator, is it 100f? What if I dont have automatic incubator today im just trying with box and lamp, how many times a day I must tern my eggs?
Thnak you
Chicken, goose and duck eggs are to be 37.5 Celsius. Humidity is important to be 40-50% and helps keep the shells soft especially for the days leading up to the hatch. Grocery store eggs are not always fertile and you are lucky if they hatch. Better to get fresh fertile hatching eggs from somebody or a hatchery.
@@HiddenSpringFarm thank you, I left the idea with Quiral eggs it's bean about 25 days now, so I got chicken eggs from life poultry place, I'm from Bronx, lol ist only so much you can do around here before you get in shipping etc...
That's again
Can you give link where you bought those incubators
What to do after they hatched? Should I let them stay in incubator for a few days? Or should I move them immediately after they hatched? Thanks
I leave them in for a day until they’re dry. They get enough nutrients from the yolk for about a day or two. Then put them in a brooder with a heat lamp or heat plate and have starter food and water available. Sometimes they find the food or I’ll dip their beak in the food and water so they’ll know. Best of luck & have fun.
Where do I get a very good incubator (brand)?
I bought mine on Temu for $30.. it's just a generic (M16) ... But it works great I just got done using it
@@skoootergurl67did your chicks hatch?
@@nikkiekinggyes they did... This is going to be my 3rd hatch
Some use rubber non-skid shelving material to give chicks better “footing”
What day did you exactly do the lock down period? I have 4 incubated eggs at the moment and they are all 2 days apart
I lock it down on day 18
Do You still need water when they get ready to hatch
Yes, but don’t open the lid cause it needs a lot of humidity to make the shell softer.
Today was the day I had to remove the turning plate.. crossing my fingers the first time will work
@@skoootergurl67 if one hatches it’s tempting to get him outta there but the yolk provided them with like more than a days food so resist the urge and let the others hatch. If u open it the others can get stuck inside.
Good Stuff C'mon!
Well after seeing your video im in big trouble ive got 60 eggs in the incubator due in 11 days
Oh boy good luck bud. They’re cute though and they grow super fast. I’ll be starting up the hatch process in April cause it’s still winter here. Thanks for watching, Chad.
@@HiddenSpringFarm im looking foward to it this is my first time trying ive collected a heap of eggs from a wide range of meat chickens my plan is to breed and make myself more self sufficent its summer here so i think they will be ok now ive got my meat sorted i have cows pigs sheep and soon to be chickens at least i wont go hungry
@@noelhenderson8095 sounds like you got a good thing going there and are on the right track. What chicken breed are you doing for meat? Last year we did Rhode Islands and Light Sussex and the Rhode Island’s weren’t very tender I think I let them grow a bit too long. I might try to get some Cornish cross chicks or maybe Some barred rock.
@@HiddenSpringFarm well I've got a few I've got the Plymouth Rock Rhode Island Red Sussex copper Maran Barnevelder Australorp silver laced Wyandotte a few others that I can't think of I am trying to find the cornish which we call in Australia the Indian game but they are not an easy bird to find if you crossed that with a Plymouth Rock you will get you a Cornish Cross I would prefer to do that then to go to a hatchery and pay a lot of money for their birds hopefully it all works out well
@@noelhenderson8095 yup I’ve been trying to find the Cornish and white rock rooster too… hard to find here also. All the big hatcheries hoard those birds cause they want to sell the cross chicks to people like us. Day old chicks here in Ontario is almost $4 each so buying 50 chicks plus feed is a ton of money. Better to hatch ourselves. Keep at it bud.
Esa incubadora solo uso la bateria para la electricidad?
It’s electric
Why do you wait a day before incubating?
I’ve done it both ways but I just like all the eggs to settle and adjust to room temperatures. It’s not a necessity though cause I’ve incubated immediately and they still hatch.
Does saling baby chicks make a good business?
Anytips for me as a beginner
Well one tip is if a chick has hatched early and had already dried out while you're waiting for the rest to hatch...take it out quickly then close the incubator. That way it doesn't lose too much humidity. The moist air helps keep the shell soft so they can hatch easier. Good luck with your hatch.
My oldest is day 12, the other 2 eggs are 10 days old, and the youngest is 8 days.. any advice on how to properly hatch?
Just put them in the incubator at the same time and they’ll all take approx 21 days. If you’ve put them in the incubator at different times just let them hatch and once they’re dry take em out while leaving the other ones in there. But be fast If any eggs are piping or trying to get out don’t open the incubator as they need the humidity. If they are hatching and lose the humidity the inner membrane can shrink wrap them in and they can’t hatch. Chicks can survive a day or two inside the incubator once they’ve hatched. Best of luck 🤞
They're only fertile for first7 days. Closer to lay the better days.
How long does it take from first pip to fully hatch .. hours or minutes???
It really varies. Sometimes it can be an hour or two and other times it's all night long. Important to keep the humidity high so the shell is a bit softer too.
I had one pip 48 hours…I should have helped it in 24 hours…it was pipped at wrong end…narrow end…
Massaged neck and 3 days taped legs in proper position after birth.
We just put 12 eggs in incubator. We got 11 chicks on our first try.
Hours sometime the chick needs to rest I'v seen 3 to 4 hours the chick's have just eaten so you can leave the incubator closed up to 2 days never open the lid in lock down except in emergency if you do it's only a couple seconds the humidity drops shrink-wrap the piping chick's I'm wondering if that happened to the Last 3 chick's I have had chick's finish hatching on the 25th day so it can take time
I got six brand new babies
What temperature
37.5 celcius
What happened to the last four please respond
It’s a long time ago but I’m sure they were all fine, we get a really good hatch rate when incubating.
Looks like more than 10
Haha Donna ur right on. The second batch hatched two days later so now there’s like 21 of the little cuties.
You don't wash the eggs to hatch them.
oh yeah for sure
You have to take them out quickly or the others won’t be able to hatch
The three leftover eggs hatched the next morning but u are right about that Evelyn cause if it’s not humid enough inside the shell is harder to break out of. All chickens are doing well and good for now. And I have another 28 eggs incubating 😊 🐣
Not sure I can take this loud bodacious fellow . We'll see.
I'm an acquired taste lol
@@HiddenSpringFarm he's a nut cake!
Also you probably shrink wrapped the remaining eggs. Hope people don't take yur word as "Gospel"!
All creatures do prostrate to God. Al Quran Chapter 22 Verse 18
So let us give them the chance for them to live so that they may keep prostrating to Allah. Because Allah loves people who possesses compassion to understand these creatures with respect.
There is no necessity to eat them, follow Nabi's SAW example, live with the abundance that Allah is giving that is wheat, dates and water. Hadith ref Sahih Muslim
If there was no animals, Allah SWT would not send rain on earth. Hadith Sunan Ibn Majah Volume 4019
Even the Prophet desired to be a plant that we can pick up. Sahih Tirmizi
Without those animals, the earth would not be able to replenish it's breath.
I was frantically trying to find instructions on how to look after a hatching egg & i must say your comment granted me such relief i cried. What happened was in the evening i was making some noodles & went to crack an egg into the pan but it wouldn't crack so i tried again & still no crack & that's when i came to the realisation there may be a baby chick inside because any egg usually cracks with little knock, I was so heartbroken i didn't know what to do except wrap it in a cloth, the egg even feels heavier than usual & i cried so much as the thought of it dying. But I don't have an incubator & have been searching online & what i could do & how i could get one. I don't want this chick to die inside 😭 so idk why but out of instinct, i boiled water & poured it into a hot water bottle & placed the egg into the soft hood of the cover of the hot water bottle. It's currently listening to some Qur'an and this all happened this evening. I can't let it die i wish Allah can let it live, i wish i know how to look after it properly, my heart is very anxious and i'm stressed out because i can't let the egg die 😭
Nice. Slurping your coffee is gross.
😂😂
